Master of Education (Indigenous Australian Education for Teachers)

Queensland University of Technology

The Indigenous Australian Education for Teachers major is designed to help teachers, educators and education practitioners strengthen and contextualise their knowledge and understanding of Indigenous Australian perspectives and how to respectfully bring these into education practice.

Learn skills to develop initiatives that foster meaningful engagement and relationships and be better equipped to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures in the curriculum.

This major investigates the nuances of curriculum, the strengths of pedagogical approaches and strategies for collaborative practice to assist educators to develop purposeful and responsive learning experiences centred around Indigenous Australian Education for Teachers. You will:

• position your own practice in the trajectory of Indigenous Australian education and policy.
• review the research literature relating to Indigenous Australian pedagogy to devise teaching strategies appropriate to your context and practice.
• interrogate the way curriculum and Indigenous perspectives and knowledges interact, to distil practice protocols appropriate to your context.
• be supported to design and critically analyse a learning sequence incorporating pedagogy and perspectives.
